To all whom it may conccrn:

- Be it known that I,SYLvii-: ATTANASIO, a citizen of the United States,and a'resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in thecounty of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedShaving-Cup, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention has for its object to provide a shaving cup capable ofbeing readily and thoroughly cleansed, and means for isolating the soapom the water, thus preventing the soap from becoming inire nated .withthe water used in a revious shaving also to provide means for holdingthe soap firmly in position in the cup. Such objects I accomplish by thedevice shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is avertical central section of a device embodying my invention; and F 1g. 2

is a plan view of the same.

As illustrated in the-drawings, 1 represents I the c lindrical body of acup which, with a handfe 2, may be of ordinary construction. The bottomof the cup is formed integral with. the body, andis provided with anannular flange 3 spaced from the inner wall of the body, forming anannular recess 4 and a central soap chamber 5, preferably provided witha depressed central portion (5 forming a suction well to aidin hoh ingthe soap therein, and an annular ledge 7 extending around the outer'portion of the bottom of said chamber. The chamber 5 is designed tohold a cake of soap snugly, "the edge of the soap bearing against theside walls of the flange 3,

Iprovided with thereby preventing water from passing down between theedge of the 'soap and the wall of the chamber and lodging. at the bottomthereof;

- As'the brush is applied to the upper surface of the soap the surpluswater is continually removed therefrom and drops into the annular recess4 surrounding the central receptaele. The water used in shavinga personis therefore readily removed by u -ending the cup, and the entireinterior of t 1e cup and surface of the sea) may be thoroughly rinsedbefore being user aga1n,therebyefl'ectually rendering the cup thoroughlysanitary in every respect.

While I prefer to construct the, flange 3 circular in outline so as tohold a round cake of soap,'it is obvious that said flange may be oval orangular without departing from my invention. i v q What I claim as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A shaving cup having a cylindrical body, a

closed bottom formed integrally therewith-- and provided with a flangespaced from said body forming a central soap chamber, and a 1surrounding recess, substantially as shown and described In testimonywhereof I have signed my name to this speeihcation in the presenceof twosubscribing witnesses.
